Not the worst, but I can't stand Besides You In Time. The first half of the song has the guitar riff played backwards and it just fucks with my ears. It's sometimes painful for me to listen to.

I kind of like it, but I heard the Things Falling Apart version a dozen times (back in the Napster era) before I listened to The Fragile. It took some getting used to the original, I can tell you that.

I remember picking up Things Falling Apart and being so stoked that there were so many remixes of Starfuckers. I was such a dumb teenager.

The mix is garbage. I'm tired of the sound of Reznor/Atticus mixes in general but it's hyper bad on poo poo mirror. Still like the song.

Anyone else have this complaint? Their mixes have gotten so muddy, feel like they need some fresh input from someone else.
Yeah, I'd probably like poo poo Mirror more if the mix wasn't atrocious.

"Starfuckers" definitely holds a special place as the NIN song I least look forward to in any given setting. The others I mentioned are more pointless, but SF is so blatantly out of place on its album, and occupies three tracks of the remix album. It's the song he desperately wants to work, but doesn't. It's the song that just won't go away or be ignored. I don't feel like it's objectively totally bad, as I can pick out things here and there that are kind of good about it, yet you can definitely still make a case that it's the worst NIN song all the same.

Also worth noting is its official halo debut, on the single for "The Day the World Went Away." I mean look at this track list:

Halo 13 posted:

1. "The Day The World Went Away (Single Version)" - 4:03
2. :byodood: "Starfuckers, Inc." - 5:24 :byodood:
3. "The Day The World Went Away" (Quiet) - 6:20


All these years later and I still have to reconcile the fact that my favorite NIN album literally has a diss track on it.

Starfuckers is hilarious. I love that song. Out of place sure. Thematically it reminds me of Encephalon's last album if anyone keeps up with industrial.

Hand That Feeds is still the worst NIN song.

Yeah, nin is inexplicably marketed as 'metal' in Europe and perhaps because of that they've gotten a few best metal performance grammy nominations and won two of them, both for songs off of broken interestingly enough - the studio version of wish and then the woodstock '94 performance of happiness in slavery a few years later. Nevermind that the metal marketing is done in the Eu and the grammies are a US thing. :colbert:

Also Starfuckers is a fun song.

Yeah it seems more like a concept album that you listen to in whole once or twice (and then a couple years later when you remember it and are in the mood) than Add Violence where a couple of standalone songs are still in my big shuffle rotation.

I paid for it anyway and didn't realize I'd be receiving the vinyl, so since I know almost nothing about vinyls and don't have a record player I came in here to ask about the texture I'm seeing on the B-side label, which resembles a track:


Is this possible, or is it just an aesthetic choice? I assume paper is not playable but I thought I would ask if anyone has tried it

This is entirely normal and is how a bunch of labels look.

The live cut on And All That Could Have Been makes it so much better - removing the stuttering/clipped verse makes it way more bearable. It's basically the first pass at a big studio anthem like The Hand That Feeds and it's fit for purpose :v:

Big Black Delta only toured with NIN once; so I know this is only very tangentially the place to ask, but has anyone else noticed a significant difference of Dreary Moon from Big Black Delta vinyl versus the online/itunes version? I never saw any listed reason for the 3rd half of the song to be shortened and/or weird. Am I the only one who noticed this? I know there's various cuts of other titles from the same artist with other random weirdness but I was under the impression that this track was one version only. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea0MOWQm8Cw Jonathan, I know you're a goon. Could you shed any light? edit: lol 3rd half. ok 3rd 3rd

They don't have a lot of material, but still. It's Trent and Atticus + Trent's wife on vocals + Rob Sheridan (NIN's old art director).
